- The number of electric vehicles (EV) on the road in the UK is expected to rise quickly and this is likely to have an impact on the operation of the power grid. This paper quantifies the consequences of allowing a completely electric fleet to charge freely by the use of realistic data, then considers whether there is a practical way in which the impacts can be mitigated. It proposes a simple scheme which could largely avoid the negative effect of EV integration that doesn’t require the creation of new infrastructure, thus paving the way for new easily implementable policies
